Biking Down Hoyt Street? Really?

The Post is reporting that the NYC DOT is continuing to blanket the borough in bike lanes. A bigger advocate for this there could not be. However, let's look at WHERE the bike lanes will go.

"The city plans to significantly extend the cycling lanes leading from the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges with the Department of Transportation extending them all the way through Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens, along bustling Smith Street, from Bergen to Ninth Street, and Hoyt Street, between Bergen and Third streets."
